Who is giving away a DX-7? Send it to me! Better yet a DX-11.
Four oscillators, eight waveforms for each OSC, eight algorithms per
voice plus three LFO waveforms. A noisy beast with a bitch of an
interface BUT capable of some incredible sounds. Not just percussive
bells and e-pianos. It can emulate a Hammond and a clav nicely too.
Tons of potential...The trouble is most people don't have the patience
to deal with that Yamaha interface!
